Sweet Po-Tater

I have a bunch of fall pies in my pie line-up now. My family better watch out or I might deviate from the typical pumpkin or pecan pie this Thanksgiving...kind of like when my sister went free-wheeling with the Thanksgiving dressing and added cranberries, nuts and stuff. I owe her for that. 

So, here is the sweet potato pie. I followed this recipe to the tee. Next time I think I'll cut back on the sugar to 3/4 cup. Sweet potatoes are already, well, sweet. Hence the name, folks. That's the only pooh-pooh I'll have about this recipe. That, and the fact that it takes a LOOOOOOOOOONG friggin' time to make. I started at 8 p.m. and was done by 11 p.m. Fifty minutes for the sweet potatoes to boil and get soft for making the filling and then another 60-80 minutes for the pie to bake (my oven is a bit off on its temp), and then add in another 60 minutes of my dorking around and watching the finale to Project Runway. I guess that's not part of the recipe. It should be.

Have a spooky Halloween, y'all. I can't wait to see all the pictures on Facebook. Make it good, folks, make it good.
